Hey Anthony, nice work. Then again, I'm a little partial to anything with Marines on it.
Artist Reply: Thanks. I also just got an e-mail from a guy who was actually on LZ Loon. I wanted to reply to his e-mail, but it was sent through this system so I couldn't. Sorry to hijack your comment, but I'm sure you'll agree it is worth it. Thanks.
I was on lz loon. My best friend got shot in the head by the nva after he was wounded. I appreciate the excellant artwork you did on that tank for someone.

Don,
I was proud to do it for someone who served our country and went through the hell that went on back there. This bike makes it to Rolling Thunder every year in Washington, D.C. If you have the opportunity to go there this year, I'm sure Jim would be happy to meet you. You'll know how to find him...
Thank you for your compliment and also for your service to our country. I am sorry to hear about your friend. I read many similar horror stories about LZ Loon on the internet, after getting involved with this project. I can't imagine going through that kind of hell.

Artist Reply: Thanks. That shot was taken with just one coat of clear on it. I couldn't wait to show it to the customer, so I stopped clearing, took a few pictures, then finished clearing it and ran home to send him the pictures.
